I am not choosing light over shadow. I am calling myself back whole. Every fractured version returns to the altar of my body, forgiven, reclaimed, crowned. The dark remembers what the light forgot, and the light softens what the dark endured. I integrate, not erase. I alchemize, not abandon. Halo steady, wings wide, spine unbowed I stand as the union of all I have been. Oh my angel, I was never lost. I was becoming. -NOIRA NOX
